Lunark is a pixel art sci-fi cinematic platformer. It is fairly short, but it was quite good. The animation was particularly excellent with rotoscoped cutscenes. The overall level design is also solid and it has a wide variety of interesting locations. You play in a series of semi-open world levels, which has secrets to find - giving some exploration gameplay. The story is also interesting and well conceived.
The actual gameplay feels pretty clunky, especially the platforming. The character feels very heavy and it has a huge delay on input commands. It still manages to be fun, but I wish it was more responsive.
The game is a bit overpriced and pretty short, but I do wish there were more cinematic platformers being made and I could tell a lot of heart went into it. Probably wait for a sale, but definitely check it out.
